Antioch College professors have sued the private liberal arts school to keep it from closing next summer, saying trustees violated the college’s contract with faculty members.
The lawsuit, filed in Greene County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday, asks the court to stop the college from firing faculty and from disposing of college assets, a faculty statement said.
Antioch, known for its offbeat approach to education and a history of social activism, announced June 9 it would close its doors in July 2008 because of a lack of money. School officials said they wanted to restructure the school, upgrade facilities and reopen in 2012.
